“The level of EU agricultural funding must not be reduced in future; this is what Hungarian agricultural diplomacy is fighting for at the Brussels forums, and it is in the interests of this goal that it is searching for and finding allies among the countries of the Vishegrad Group (V4) and other Central European states”, Minister of Agriculture Sandor Fazekas said on Hungarian M1 television’s morning show.
The Minister’s standpoint is clear: the Central European countries that joined the European Union at a later date had a significant disadvantage to make up for in comparison to member states that had already been benefitting from the results of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). “In view of the fact that the level of agricultural funding was only set to a level that now makes Hungarian agriculture competitive a few years ago, it is very important that the level of this funding remains the same, because this is what enables consumers to have access to good quality foods at affordable prices”, Mr. Fazekas said.
